In the next few weeks, Councillor Ben Duncan, an independent Councillor sitting on Brighton and Hove Council, will make a motion that, in all effect, will make OUR home City of Brighton and Hove, an Israel free-Zone!! Councilor Duncan is suspended from the Green Party (for Tweeting; "Armed Forces Day has certainly brought the hired killers onto the streets of Brighton today!!") However as I am sure you will be aware Brighton has a Green Council and the UK's only Green MP (Caroline Lucas).
We need your help to stamp on this motion and sentiment from the highest place and with as much force as possible. Please take a second to write to Brighton and Hove Councillors (particularly the Green ones) and express your abhorrence at even the talk of this bigoted motion.

There will be more details of Sussex Friends of Israels and the Sussex Jewish Representative Councils response next week but in the mean time, we could REALLY do with your help.
Update: One of the Green Party councillors Liz Wakefield (whose party controls Brighton at the moment) has announced her support for the bigoted motion.
The Greens should remove the whip immediately.
